"Working Together" & "Where The Sidewalk Ends" REMIX

Let us leave this place
 where the smoke blows black
or imagine and look for the true shape of our own self
To the place where the sidewalk ends

We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow
passed at a speed round a shaped wing
and there the moon-bird rest from his flight
To produce the miraculous

The visible,
past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
And the invisible,
where the sun burns crimson light
working together in common cause

We have yet to see 
past the dark street winds
So may we, in this life trust
That there is a place where the sidewalk ends
